About Me

Although just 27, Sarah Teitel has already made her mark in a number of artistic arenas. An acclaimed singer-songwriter, she has performed across Toronto and in New York City. In 2006, she played a four month residency on the patio of the Drake Hotel. She is a nationally published poet and journalist (Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Saturday Night). She is an associate of the Engine Gallery, where she deals and consults on fine art. She has worked as an actress – performed in several classical and contemporary theatrical productions, and starred in the independent film “The Behaviour of Houses”. As well, she is a fashion designer. Her line of hand-painted vintage accessories is carried in select GTA and Manhattan boutiques. Sarah is also co-creator and curator of the ongoing project, “Bardbie”, a series of slideshows presenting great literary and biblical tales illustrated in the medium of Barbie dolls. Recently Sarah began playing muse to other artists. Illustrator and painter Christopher Hayes, photographer Ryan Van Der Hout, and sculptor and Toronto Arts Council president Diana Bennett are currently at work on various projects influenced by Sarah’s music, with Sarah herself as the subject.
